By Zeus’ beard, it seems Rene Russo – one of Hollywood’s leading ladies of the 1990s – has joined the cast of Kenneth Branagh’s Thor . Even more interesting is her character name: Frigga. She will be playing Thor’s stepmother and wife to Odin (Anthony Hopkins).
This particular Marvel venture begins shooting next month for a release in May 2011. Nobody ever expected Shakespeare-obsessed Branagh to be making a comic book adaptation. Is this part of the charm? His occasional forays into... Read Full Story

If you were hoping the Screen Actors Guild Awards would be kinder to a certain top-reviewed film than the Globe Globes were, then your hopes were dashed.
Oh, and Avatar and The Hangover got squat, too.
Award-season front-runners Inglourious Basterds , The Hurt Locker , Nine , Precious and An Education stayed out in front today with SAG cast nominations—the show's equivalent of Best Picture.

It is highly unlikely that Avatar will do groundbreaking business this weekend. I'll put somewhere in the $80 million range out there here at the start and tell you why it may not make more. For starters, I'm unconvinced that it has incredibly wide appeal, especially at the beginning. I hear comparisons to Titanic , but that's not a well-informed argument.
There's almost nothing these movies have in common, aside from the director and the running time. Titanic faced virtually no... Read Full Story
If you were hoping the Screen Actors Guild Awards would bestow more respect upon a certain top-reviewed film than the Golden Globes did, your hopes were dashed.
Oh, and Avatar and The Hangover got squat.
Award-season favorites Inglourious Basterds, The Hurt Locker, Nine, Precious and An Education remained favorites today with ensemble-cast noms—the SAG equivalent of Best Picture.
Avatar and The Hangover, which represented for popcorn pictures at the Globes, didn't pick up any nods; the... Read Full Story
Monday we looked at an excerpt from the Orci & Kurtzman screenplay for Star Trek, focusing on how the scene description reflected the fact that it is an action / sci-fi movie. Tuesday we checked out a scene from the Lucas & Moore screenplay The Hangover , tracking how the writers used humor in approaching scene description to amp up the comedy. Wednesday we considered Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds and how its scene description underscored the movie's drama. Yesterday we studied a... Read Full Story
How a little media exposure can increase your prospects in a big way EDITORS NOTE: Marsha Friedman, CEO of the National PR firm EMSI , author of the new book “Celebritize Yourself,” and a long-time Expert Access contributor, originally sent me this content in an email – because she knows I love comics and cartoons. Unbeknownst to her, after I read it, I decided her email, with a little Steveditorial Monomythologizing would make a great story. Not often you can mix Batman, aliens and... Read Full Story

I was suprised when I looked back on this week that what dominated the news wasn't awards and critics lists - this is the time of year where you'd expect that to be the case - but rather casting stuff, which we get every week. But whn you hear that Malkovich might play the Spidey 4 villain and Josh Brolin might do a stint in Men in Black 3 , well, that's kind of big. Plus, we found out that Johnny Depp and Tim Burton are making their Dark Shadows vampire movie next fall and that Brad Pitt... Read Full Story
